Saint Martin's Food Pantry is an initiative led by the Food Pantry Club.

Mission 

Our mission is to tackle food insecurity and ensure the wellbeing of our community by raising awareness and providing a safe place for individuals experiencing food insecurity. The Food Pantry will be a resource for individuals in our community, where they can access basic needs, such as food, water, and hygiene products.
